Post eagle game thoughts

[Eddie Spaghetti]

Hey Eddie, you don't think Landry could be the odd man out?

not a chance

this team has super bowl aspirations. they aren't going to hand the keys to a guy with zero game experience if Ben has to miss a couple of games

Dobbs is way overvalued by people here for some reason. he is a scrub

Dobbs is maybe a little more mobile LJones minus 3 yrs experience.

Missed the game just saw highlights or lowlights as the case may be I thought I heard they were working on tackling this year?

Looks like there's a lot more work to do.

really? I wasn't impressed with Toussaint. I think they should move on from him.

I haven't been impressed with him in the past but I was in that game. 7 carries for 29 yards and a TD and he put a really nice move on an Eagles defender on his 17 yard run...

If Mason looks good, Landry could be trade bit. There are way too few competent QB2's out there, could may be get a low to midrounder for him. Mason stays of course. Dobbs? I don't see trade value, might even be able to hide him on PS, but I would bet somebody snags him. Having said that, Landry is really the only trustworthy, experienced backup among them, but I believe in MR if it came to it.

Haven’t seen enough of MR to belive in him yet.

Does anyone believe we can win a bunch of games if Ben goes down early this year?

I defended Jones for years but I don’t think there is a huge gap between Jones, Dobbs and MR.

Jones probably commands the huddle the best and has the most trust by vets but I don’t think he is heads and shoulders above Dobbs or MR.

Yeah, Toussaint looked good last game.

If Ben goes down for any length of time i honestly don't see us coming out on top.

I am a fan of Landry. Always thought he was bashed unfairly given his position. That being said, I don’t think the gap between Landry and these other QB’s is so wide he can’t be moved.

Hmmm.. thanks for breaking it down the way you see it. I just don’t think that much of Landry.

100% agree. No way they go into the season with two back ups with zero game experience. The guys wanting to push LJ off the roster need to readjust their brain housing group. He isn't a front line starter and wasn't drafted to be one, but he can win several games and he is very affordable for a veteran.

Also agree on Dobbs. He was a good value pick last year in Round 4 as the heir apparent to Landry, but they had no idea they could get a player like Rudolph this year and when they did Dobbs became expendable.

I get where your coming from and what your saying has good logic behind it. If I had to bet, I too would bet the logical route. I’m just not a big fan of Landry coupled with I think there is more to Dobbs then what we’ve seen and I’m Leary on letting talent get away that hasn’t been properly evaluated..especially at the position he plays.

[Slapstick]

So, the opinion is that the Steelers will keep Landry Jones only for his experience and not because he’s actually a better QB?

[Northern_Blitz]

Dobbs is maybe a little more mobile LJones minus 3 yrs experience.

But those 3 years of experience are important.

The experience changed Landry from a turnover machine to a guy you could reasonably put into a regular season game and expect to be competitive.

I think it's too much a risk to cut Landry now. Especially since he doesn't cost that much.

I know it's only 1 preseason game, but splitting 3 quarters of play Dobbs and Rudolph combined for ~ 200 yards 1 TD, 1 pick and 2 fumbles (didn't lose either). I wouldn't be super stoked about either of them winning the turnover battle against NFL starters. Jones has gotten to the point where I think he's decent at not giving the ball away.
